| Info: | Since Josephine Baker first wowed them with her banana skirt (and nothing else) at the Folies Bergeres, and Zeigfield had his Follies, nightlife has been filled with colourful and flamboyant characters that defined their era. In the Seventies, it was Bianca Jagger's triumphant entrance into Studio 54 naked on a white horse a la Lady Godiva. In the Eighties, it was the out-of this world-Keith Haring drawn body painted Grace Jones. In the Nineties, a virtual explosion of club kids ran rampant through NYC nightlife, culminating with the bizzare, and tragic life of Michael Alig.
In Montreal, the Nineties were a time of experimentation, of flamboyance and great creativity. Those who remember warehouse parties remember the characters that spent weeks preparing their costumes and personal shows...whether hired or not. It was electric, and for everyone who remembers it, special. Club nights like Sterile Cowboy's Gag! at the now fabled K.O.X. attracted a motley mix of transsexual, cross-dresser, St. Laurent hipster, ravers, leather men, and everything under the moon in between. Somewhere along the way, the suburbanites took over, and "dress to depress" has been the rule ever since.
"Freak Out" is not a look back, its a look forward picking up where we left off. Its the chance to showcase a new generation of clubbers, and inspire the creativity and abandon that has been missing from the scene. This is your open call. To all the freaks, wanna be's, trashmonsters, psychotics and degenerates...get your asses out the door and on the freakin' floor. We're creating the environment, you supply the entertainment. The door is geared to flamboyance. Catch our eye, and it'll cost you only 5$ to get in Stereo (that's a first, just for you freaks)...(of course you have to convince Empress Jomanda that you've got what it takes). Be stunning and get in for free (here with a bit more convincing towards the Empress). Be really stunning and Tyler and Jordan may just choose you to be VIP, which means you get full access, drink tickets, and a chance to be the face of the night on upcoming promotional material. You'll also have the run of the house, and participate in 'shows' and 'drama'.
The limits of what you can do are truly up to you. Just be original, and don't be tired. A wig and some lipstick just won't cut it. Think zombie b-movie, think double d cup, think too much plastic surgery, think glamour, glamour, glamour. And this is not a night for the drag queens or village boys only. We expect to see fierce boys and girls doing their thing as well. Just because you're straight does not mean you have to be boring, now does it? You're all welcome as long as you are freaks! Especially you fine young ladies in too-high whore boots with ammo belts, football helmets and a leather push-up...
Come join us each and every first Friday of the month with DJ XL for a legendary "Freak Out". Hosted by Tyler and Jordan aka the Party Monsters. Door by Empress Jomanda, the coldest couture cunt this side of John Galliano's ass. Expect to be violated. |
